Quilt Show - Part four

My apologies for not posting these earlier. Life just got in the way. So, here now are more photos of the quilt show. I hope you enjoy them.

One of my all time favourite patterns - the nine patch. Set on point, it becomes an Irish chain.

I wish the delicate colours showed up better. It was a lovely pastel quilt.

This one won a viewer's choice prize.

Just a couple of close-ups.

I always find that the beautifully done applique takes a back seat to all the heavy quilting. My eye first sees the quilting and then the applique. It should be the other way around. Those are my own observations.

Here's a close-up of the hand quilting.

Loads of printed fabrics, cut up and sewn together. It all works.

Here's the border. It too was hand quilted.

This was my second Row by Row quilt.

I hand quilted this over the summer and won another 25 fat quarters. I also received a bonus gift from the Threads That Bind quilt store.

There are still a few more quilts. I'll post them soon. I'm tired and I hope I didn't make any errors.
